The Heavenly Demon Lord fell into an illusion.

But his body was still burning.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen, standing beneath the Tower of Babel, was astonished.

Based on the voice coming from the Heavenly Saint Demon, Ye Chen vaguely felt that the Heavenly Saint Demon had failed.

At that moment, the solemn voice of the Demon King echoed in his mind.

"Master, we can't count on the Heavenly Demon King anymore. It's best to retreat first."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart sank, and he even felt somewhat devastated. He glanced at Li Taibai on the demon chariot and sent a telepathic message to the Demon King, asking, "Where should we retreat to?"

"Go to the Tower of Babel. If you reach the ninth floor, you will have a chance to escape."

"knew."

Ye Chen spoke, and there were still many beings in the Tower of Babel who obeyed his token.

Although it is unknown whether those creatures can protect themselves.

But if they run in other directions, they definitely won't be able to escape.

Even so, Ye Chen's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Just moments ago, he boasted that he would kill Li Bai, but now he's trying to escape.

He ran away in front of so many beautiful women he wanted to take into his harem.

Completely humiliated!

As a chosen one, Ye Chen had never felt so frustrated and humiliated as he was now.

He was even more uncertain whether escaping into the Tower of Babel would guarantee his survival.

Gu Jian looked at Ye Chen's pale face and said, "Ye Chen, are you trying to run away?"

Ye Chen's expression changed, and he said to Gu Jian, "Who said I wanted to run away? Li Taibai, I only want to kill you! Die!"

After saying that, Ye Chen roared and gave the order to the beings from the Tower of Babel beside him, "Kill him!"

The dozen or so beings from the Tower of Babel behind him immediately charged toward Gu Jian.

A murderous aura enveloped Gu Jian!

Just when everyone thought that Ye Chen would also follow and attack Li Taibai to fight him to the death,

Ye Chen turned and ran into the Tower of Babel.

And the instant he ran into the Tower of Babel.

The nine doors of the Tower of Babel were all closed.

The experts of the Spirit Control Sect were stunned.

Tianyao Sect's Holy Maiden Su Mengyao and many powerful figures were astonished.

Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan were taken aback.

Ye Chen actually ran away?

Gu Jian's face also showed surprise.

He overestimated his good junior brother.

Does running into the Tower of Babel mean you can escape?

The Heavenly Sword Sect experts, who were fighting against Gu Jian's demon army, were dumbfounded.

Then, they had only one thought in their minds.

That means they were abandoned by Ye Chen.

"Damn Ye Chen, we agreed to kill Li Taibai together, but he ran away?"

Jian Mingda, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, flew into a rage.

Ken Hidehiko also flew into a rage.

They never imagined that Ye Chen would abandon them and run away at this moment.

Hua Mudan looked at Gu Jian and said, "Strategist, don't let that guy get away."

"Um!"

Gu Jian nodded and said, "Let's deal with these first."

After saying this, he ordered an attack. First, he had twenty demon soldiers block the charging creatures from the Tower of Babel.

Then, he ordered the remaining demon army to besiege the Heavenly Sword Sect's experts.

Demonic light emanated from the demonic blades, demonic halberds, and demonic spears, bombarding the bodies of the Heavenly Sword Sect's experts.

boom!

Jian Yingyan and Jian Mingda were sent flying, spitting out blood.

Seeing this, the other experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to save the two Supreme Elders, but they themselves were already surrounded by the demon army and could hardly protect themselves!

Then, a thought struck Gu Jian.

He ordered his four thousand demon soldiers to form a battle formation and continue bombarding the creatures coming from the Tower of Babel.

Meanwhile, he ordered another thousand demon soldiers, bringing the total to two thousand, to attack the remaining four hundred or so members of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The powerful figures of the Heavenly Sword Sect were falling at an even faster pace.

[Slayed an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a Reincarnation Realm cultivator. Absorbed 500 Longevity Points!]

[Slayed a Heavenly Sword Sect deacon, reaching the Life and Death Realm. Absorbed 300 Longevity Points!]

[Slayed an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Nirvana Realm. Absorbed 1000 Longevity Values!]

[...]

A string of information kept flashing through my mind.

Jian Yingyan and Jian Mingda were both covered in wounds.

Knowing that all was lost, they couldn't help but beg Gu Jian for mercy.

"Strategist Taibai, please spare us!"

"We were foolish! We did not wish to be enemies with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!"

They were filled with regret.

How could they think this was a good opportunity to kill Li Bai?

They were clearly tricked by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen seized the Tower of Babel, but they had nowhere to hide.

But Gu Jian smiled.

He never intended to let these people go, and he won't now.

"If only I had known then what I know now."

"Kill them all!"

He gave the order, and the demon army attacked even more frantically.

In an instant, the powerful members of the Heavenly Sword Sect continued to fall, their screams echoing throughout the sky above the Tower of Babel.

Blood continued to splatter.

The experts from the Yuling Sect and Tianyao Sect were deeply shocked upon seeing this.

They couldn't bear to see one of the five major powers die like that.

However, they had no intention of helping, and they were also glad that they hadn't made enemies of Li Bai earlier.

Otherwise, they would most likely have died along with the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Thank goodness he didn't make a move. I knew Ye Chen was unreliable!"

"Indeed. If we had attacked, we would have perished together by now!"

"It's better for us to die than for you, we've done nothing wrong..."

"..."

A series of sounds rang out.
